dovecot - Mar 2020 - systemuser login

Hello!

I have one systemuser on my testsystem running CentOS. All other users live in a
mysql- database.

I created a /etc/dovecot/users file and use auth-passwdfile.conf.ext.

x:/var/mail/andreas:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

When I try to login via telnet I see in the logifle:

2020-03-20 14:40:01 auth: Debug: prefetch(andreas at
dualbit.de,::1,<+9T4a0mhKO0AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>): success
2020-03-20 14:40:01 auth: Debug: master userdb out: USER        734789633      
andreas at dualbit.de      mail=mbox:/var/mail/andreas:INBOX=/var/ma
il/andreas at dualbit.de   auth_token=dc1f852724345081ff3a18958f05fc61b2544ab4

The domainpart is added to the username when I use %u. I assume this is why the
login fails.

How do I correct this, please?

Kind regards

Use /var/mail/%n instead of %u.
